I had to do that once, long ago. I took a brute force approach as it was a one-off situation. I shelled to Command Prompt and changed to the directory in question. I then ran "dir *.dbf > file_list.txt"
I then took the resultant file_list.txt and imported it into a table for analysis. I never bothered coding that technique as I never thought I would need to do it again, but it would be failrly simple to do, IMHO. In fact, I would likely do it all in Fox code were I to need such a tool available for future projects.
